MySQL/Galera 0.7.2 Released

Submitted by seppo on January 27, 2010 - 14:54

The 0.7.2 version is a maintenance release, which fixes two issues reported from the community and which were classified as critical:

  • node join operation could lead to crash, if joining node were connected before the DB state transfer to joining node had started
  • loading a large mysql dump file could lead to out of memory situation. This was due to wsrep default configuration, which converts locking sessions (LOCK TABLE...UNLOCK TABLE) into transactions. mysqldump can create dump files, which wrap inserts into target table with locking sessions, and this can lead to huge transactions with default wsrep configuration.

Due to the nature of these issues, this release was published ahead of schedule.

The 0.7.2 release is merged with MySQL 5.1.42 and has also some improvements in group communication (not visible in launchpad logs, however).
